This Blooming 9-Patch would be great for your teen heading off to college. We had boys in mind when we put this together.

About the Fabric Kit: Total yardage is 10 3/8 yards, including the binding. We give you an extra 1/8 yard of each fabric so you will have plenty! Why not add the perfect thread to sew it together: Aurifil Thread - 1422 yards. If you haven't tried this thread yet, it is the perfect opportunity. The fabric on the far right is the center of the quilt or fabric #1 if you are looking at the pattern in the book.

Enlarge to a Queen Sized Bedspread: This makes a good-sized quilt, but if you want to make it large enough for a bedspread on a Queen Sized bed you will want to add a 4” to 6” border before adding the binding. It will require an additional 1 1/2 yards for the border.

Fabric Kit does NOT include a Pattern! The pattern is in the book Traditions With a Twist, so if you don't have the book you will have to buy it. It is available online!

By the way, this pattern takes advantage of rotary cutting and strip piecing for template free quiltmaking and we highly recommend the Cutting Edge Tool for error free strip cutting. With them, make every cut perfectly the same without thinking!!!
